Small problem of the hitch goes through my bumper. There is a cutout.
I'd have to widen the cut on the bumper.
What about welding stock to the tube?

That tube is powercoated, you could never get it clean enough to sleeve the inside of it. If you don't want to mod your bumper (which is what I would still recommend) than I would recommend having a plate made at a local welding shop with a solid bar. I know Matts Repair in Lowell could do it on the cheap. If the shop doesn't have 1 1/4 inch solid stock than just buy the longest ball mount you can and cut the flange for the ball off of it and have it welded to the plate. If you go to 2 inch rear than you won't need an adapter to use the winch on the front. I am shocked to hear that they make a front hitch for an Escape.

TV question....
Pm please...

So, I've got Dish Network and want to drop them. I currently have a receiver setup for 2 tvs but have a splitter in one of the lines to have 3 tvs. (Basically same channel will show on 2 of the 3 tvs). I wanna get a digital antenna, can I run 1 antenna for all 3 tvs? I plan to get hulu and maybe netfix. Do I need a device for each tv for that too?

If you put a digital antenna (ie. over the airways) you will still need a digital to analog convertor box for each TV.

*yawn* Hi NW peeps.

 

[jedi]

I ended up getting a Direct C5 ClearStream
Amazon.com: Antennas Direct C5 ClearStream 5 High Gain Digital VHF Antenna: Electronics
and installing it inside the attic then just used the existing co-axial in the house to connect the TVs to it.

Then I got one of these "Magnavox DTV Digital to Analog Converter" for each TV
Amazon.com: Magnavox DTV Digital to Analog Converter: Electronics

I got 4 of them in the house. 2 for free as my grandma did not need them anymore and 2 for under $10 each on craiglist.

Only if you don't have a digital tuner built into the tv.

You don't need a converter box. Only cheap thugs like Jedi, who shop in the alley with a beat up truck, need things like converter boxes.
One of these should work fine for splitting the signal.

a multi-element antenna is better than rabbit ears. Unless you're trying for channel two, then nothing works.

I have ROKU boxes on each of our TV sets. Using my internal WiFi connected to the internet I can stream Hulu, Netflix, Crackle and a couple hundred other channels to the sets with each TV being able to select its own channels.

1 digital antenna will give you over the air channels for all TV sets.

Oh and I agree with everything Bill B wrote.

 

[xfrostybeersx]

I would hope you'd agree with Bill....Otherwise you'd be agreeing with.....well....him

Can you stream regular TV through Roku?
